We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The home was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and perfectly located—everything you’d hope for in a getaway. What truly set this experience apart were the owners, who are such warm and thoughtful people; they went above and beyond to personally deliver a forgotten priceless item, a gesture that meant so much to us. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this special place to future guests.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Oct 2025
So sorry about the pool not being open. I checked our communication and didn't see that desire expressed, but I should have reached out directly. Thank you for your positive review, even with that disappointment - what a good man you must be! Thanks!

Great Family Stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay here immensely! The pool was great for the kids and there were enough rooms and beds to sleep our family of nine. This is our second time staying here and we would love to stay again the next time we visit family in Palmyra!

The house and location was perfect for our family of nine, five adults and four kids. Most of our time was spent at Hersheypark, but it was a great place to come back to! We enjoyed the gazebo, unfortunately too cool to use the pool. Thanks again.

Close to Hershey Park

This was a perfect home to stay in if you are attending an event at the park. We enjoyed the pool, ping pong and billiard tables. House had everything you could need. We enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Carole Watson

Host profile image

We are houseparents at Milton Hershey School and live with our elementary kids on campus most of the time. We love entertaining, so even though we won't be staying in our home when you are, we will be glad to try to make sure your stay is really pleasant!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the big back yard for playing in. There is a 20 x 40 ft. in ground pool to enjoy. There is a play set for younger kids :) We love sitting in the swing in the gazebo visiting with family and friends. There is a large deck and a lot of comfortable seating. The deck has afternoon shade and with the outdoor grill it is a fun place to share a meal.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy our home because if has a cozy family room with a gas fireplace. The downstairs area can easily have groups playing games or talking in different areas so everyone can do what they like. There is a ping pong table in the sun room and a pool table in the basement. So much to do! We like the 4 bedrooms so that there is plenty of sleeping space. We think it is an attractive place to come and relax.
